WHY USE FONOA LOOKUP?

Instant, accurate tax ID validation

Ensuring the accuracy of your customers' tax IDs is crucial to managing compliance. Without verification, you may be charging the wrong amount of tax, providing a poor customer experience, and be liable for any missing taxes. With Fonoa Lookup you can:

Recover indirect taxes charged on domestic purchases
Confirm if your platform sellers charged tax correctly.
Confirm your customer’s tax status
To calculate tax on cross-border sales, you must know if your buyer is a business or a consumer - and that they've got a valid/active tax ID.
Know the right tax treatment of your transactions, any time
If you’re a marketplace, you must know if your sellers are registered for taxes before making calculations on their behalf.
Ensure your Data Sharing report contains valid tax IDs
Affected platforms must confirm tax ID numbers before fulfilling their reporting obligations (e.g. DAC7).

CHALLENGES

Why is invoicing so crucial?

Leaving money on the table

Without invoices, business customers cannot reclaim VAT / GST on their transactions. This leads to unnecessary costs for your customers and a competitive disadvantage for your business.

Local rules are complicated

Issuing locally-compliant invoices and credit notes can be complicated - there are country-specific requirements on what information and format to use.

Customers can’t expense their transactions

Without invoices, your customers won’t be able to expense their business transactions. They will contact your support more often and churn at a greater rate.

Self-billing is complex

Merchants re-selling from different sellers don't get invoices for these transactions and struggle with streamlining their accounting and compliance processes.

Fonoa Invoicing automates your processes instantly

Simplify invoicing processes

Automatically generate invoices for all relevant transactions.

Ensure local compliance

Make sure you follow all the local rules as you transact globally.

Benefit from flexibility

Fonoa supports issuing invoices, credit notes, 3rd party billing, and self-billing.

Improve operations

Allow your customers to claim back 100% of the VAT/GST on your transactions.
